Most common ac & heating (hvac) problems Texas homeowners see

Roughly 70–80% of the calls dispatched statewide land in these five buckets. Each includes the honest fix — no scare-selling, no upsell pressure.

No cool air from vents, outdoor unit is silent

Almost always electrical: failed capacitor, tripped high-pressure switch, or dead contactor. Diagnostic in 20-30 minutes. Capacitor swap $180-380 total; contactor $200-400.

No cool air, outdoor unit runs, indoor blower runs

Refrigerant-side issue — either low charge from a slow leak or a stuck TXV/metering device. Leak search plus recharge $400-900; TXV replacement $700-1400.

System cools, then trips off after 15-30 minutes

Overheating condenser, dirty evaporator, or low refrigerant tripping the freeze-stat. Coil cleaning $250-500; deep chemical clean $450-800.

Water dripping from ceiling near the indoor unit

Condensate drain line is clogged. Emergency shutoff, drain clear, and pan check runs $150-350. Left untreated causes drywall damage that costs 10x more.

Furnace ignites, then shuts off after seconds

Classic flame sensor issue in gas furnaces — the sensor is coated in oxide and can't confirm flame. Sensor clean is $180-280, replacement $250-400.

Verify at the relevant state board (DPS for locksmiths, TDLR for HVAC/electrical/towing/garage door where applicable, TSBPE for plumbing).

How much does ac & heating (hvac) service cost in Texas?

Diagnostic and service call fees fall in the $65–150 range depending on the trade. Common repairs typically run $180–500 all-in.
